I am the daughter of a fishing captain (private sportfishing) and born/raised on the east coast of Fla so I know fish and shell fish!! I am a HUGE fan of Dungeness crab since moving here last Nov! Yes, Dung. is way better and more fulfilling than blue crab and my top two favorites!! The one comperable crab is the Fla Stonecrab which you only pull one claw off the crab and release the crab so it can grow another appendage!!! nice not having to kill the crab to enjoy eating it!! Gotta try this sweet crab claw!!! Really superior just as Dung. is!!!
